EGProtests erupted in New Delhi, India, as thousands of young demonstrators, primarily from Generation Z, marched toward the parliament building to demand reform of a national examination system they claim unfairly disadvantages millions. The demonstrations, led by the youth-focused Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), turned violent when police used tear gas, batons, and bamboo sticks against protesters, resulting in over 150 injuries. The clashes occurred amid heightened tensions between protesters and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu-nationalist government, which critics accuse of suppressing dissent. Despite police-imposed restrictions and the destruction of a protest camp, demonstrators regrouped at Jantar Mantar, a historic observatory, where they expressed defiance and frustration over alleged systemic corruption in exams. The protests reflect broader discontent with governance and educational fairness.

It emphasizes the scale and intensity of the demonstrations, portrays the government as repressive, and highlights the grassroots origin of the Cockroach Janta
